Bermiok Monastery (a.k.a. Bermiok Wosel Choling Monastery) is a Buddhist monastery in Sikkim, northeastern India.[1] The monastery belongs to the Karma Kagyu lineage.
History
The monastery was founded in 1873. As a result of damage caused by earthquakes, the monastery underwent renovation and reconstruction in the year 1954.[1]
